The Association of People with Disability (APD) was started in 1959, by a group of people with disabilities, as a center for vocational rehabilitation for persons with locomotor disabilities. The focus has been to educate, train and mainstream disabled person, so as to instill confidence and enable them to recognize their potential for self-reliance. APD also aims to create societal awareness, to promote acceptance and integration of people with disabilities. Today, APD touches the lives of about 1500 people through its various programs.

The APD project funded by the Wadhwani Foundation proposes to capitalize on the growing demand for services of trained personnel in horticulture. It will double the size of APD’s Horticulture Training Program.
